Patil

Patil is an Indian last name. It is predominantly used in the state of Maharashtra, Karnataka and parts of Andhra Pradesh. Patil is the Maratha title giving head. The native language of Patils could be Marathi, Kannada and less commonly Telugu and Konkani.

The Mughals, Aadils and in the time of Shivaji Maharaj, Patil was the title given to a person who was granted a territory of land. The granted territory is usually referred to as the patilki or Watan. The patil was in effect the ruler of the territory, as he was entitled to the collected taxes. Many Patils were warriors in the Maratha army. Patil is lastname in Maratha(Land owners), Marathi Brahmins & people from Gujrath settled in North Maharashtra.

Among prominent Patils were the Royal Bhonsle (or Bhosle) family. Shivaji Maharaj's grandfather Maloji Bhosle was a patil of villages near Daund (in Pune). Other prominent Patils included the Royal Gaikwad family were patils of Lalvan in Malegaon Taluka, the Royal Shinde family were patils of village Kanherkhed in Satara), and most royal clans are Patils. So Maharashtra was and is currently dominated by Maratha Patils.

The term PolicePatil was used by the East india Company, but it is not related to the Watandar Patils that were granted territory by Shivaji Maharaj or Mughals and Aadils.
